Office of Faith Formation - Religious Education Grades 1-6 and Confirmation Program Grades 7-10
Welcome
Thank you for choosing St. Oscar Romero Parish for your child's faith formation. To register for Religious Education classes click here.
Canton Catholic Community is a wonderful family community – rich in relationships that matter most. In our Faith Formation Program, we can grow, worship, learn, and reach out to each other in what is most important: the faith formation of our children! Faith begins in the home, and the catechists who volunteer in our programs are committed to helping parents form their young children in the ways and teachings of Jesus.
At Baptism, parents promise to accept the responsibility of training their children in the practice of the Catholic faith and teaching them to keep God's commandments by loving God and our neighbors. To help keep this promise, your children should be registered in our parish faith formation program if they do not attend a Catholic schools. Students participate in the Confirmation Program in both 9th and 10th grade regardless of the high school they attend.
We pray that you will also take an active role in nurturing and developing the gift of faith in your children as a family. Raising them to love and follow Jesus and his church is the greatest gift you can give them - one that will lay the foundation for their faith and remain in their hearts for a lifetime.
A two-year preparation is required for receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. These sacraments typically take place in the 2nd grade. In order to properly know their faith, children should complete eight years in our faith formation program before moving into the two-year Confirmation program.
We invite you to prayerfully consider joining us as volunteers in the very important and rewarding work of your child’s faith formation.
Welcome to the St. Oscar Romero Parish serving the Canton Catholic community!
Sincerely,
Erin Sullivan
